Well, that certainly indicates one reason why I'm having
difficulty coming to grips with your requirement; we have a
problem over terminology.

I differentiate between MUAs, MDAs, and MTAs; examples are:
  MUA:  mutt
  MDA:  procmail
  MTA:  exim

Obviously, you mean something different to MUA to me (and,
perhaps, others); what, in your view is an MUA if not a mail 
client?
